As you know. there Is great accumulation
OF criminal business In tho offlce OF the Dis
trict Attorney. The dockets, greatly In arrear
year ago. are now fairly we'll cleared. But
the bail cases. waiting submission to the Grand
Jury, are numbered by thousands. Until these
are disposed Of. there can be no effective en-
forcement Of law in this city. II is one Of tho
chief aims Of mysadministration to see that
these bail cases are disposed OF. 90 that when
arrests are made punishment may promptly
follow the violation OF law.
Col. Follows fully appreciates tho necessity
Of this policy, and will, II elected, devote all his
energies to this necessary reform, by which
the power Of politicians to control men through
tho fear Of indictment will be efrectualy de-
stroyed. trust that the people will give me
coadjutor in whom can place implicit reliance.
have stated the local issue. But there is a
larger and broader view to be taken.s Since
the close Of the war the Democratic party have
made an heroic struggle ito reduce taxation
and reform the national Administration. They
are now In power, but all effoi ia to lessen the
burdens Of taxation have been thwarted by the
Republican party There is now vast fund
accumulated In the Treasury for the control
of which corrupt men hunger and thirst. The
only safety lies In the stern integrity Of the
Democratic Administration. A defeat now in
this city and this State will open the gates Of
the Treasury to jobbers and to schemes for
eign to the purposes Of our Government and
to the best interests Of the people. Let them
be warned against side issues. and let them
keep ever In mind that there Is no safety OK
cept by the continuance in power OF the Demo-
cratic Administration. which has proved its
fitness by rigid economy by stern enforce
ment Of the law. and by the prompt punish
ment Of crime. As now constituted there is no
room in the Democratic party for corruption
and fraud. Yours, respectfully.
